Day Three.Already pretty clear on the fact that I would be using secondary bathrooms for at least the next three years,until being a senior could pass for confidence.For the moment, I knew no one,and was too shy to talk to anyone. So that first sight of Edward: pale hair that looked like he'd just run his hands through it, paint-smeared white shirt,a half smile that was half wicked,and I was hooked. Since, \"Hi,I'm Ella.You look like someone I'd like to spend the rest of my life with,\" would have been totally insane, I opted for sitting quietly and staring.Until the bell rang and I had to rush to French class,completely forgetting to pee. Edward Willing.Once I knew his name, the rest was easy.After all,we're living in the age of information. Wikipedia, iPhones, 4G ntworks, social networking that you can do from a thousand miles away.The upshot being that at any given time over the next two years, I could sit twenty feet from him in the library, not saying a word, and learn a lot about him.ENough, anyway, for me to become completely convinced that the Love at First Sight hadn't been a fluke. It's pretty simple.Edward matched four and a half of my If My Prince Does, In Fact, Come Someday,It Would Be Great If He Could Meet These Five Criteria. 1. Interested in art. For me, it's charcoal. For Edward, oil paint and bronze. That's almost enough right there. Nice lips + artist= Ella's prince. 2. Not afraid of love. He wrote, \"Love is one of two things worth dying for.I have yet to decide on the second.\" 3. Or of telling the truth. \"How can I believe that other people say if I lie to them?\" 4. Hot. Why not?I can dream. 5. Daring . Mountain climbing, cliff dying, defying the parents. Him, not me. I'm terrified of an embarrassing number of things, including heights, convertibles, moths, and those comedians everyone loves who stand onstage and yell insults at the audience. 5, subsection a. Daring enough to take a chance on me. Of course, in the end, that No. 5a is the biggie. And the problem. No matter how muuch I worshipped him,no matter how good a pair we might have been,it was never, ever going to happen. To be fair to Edward,it's not like he was given an opportunity to get to know me. I'm not stupid.I know there are a few basic truths when it comes to boys and me. Truth: You have to talk to a boy-really talk,if you want him to see past the fact that you're not beautiful. Truth: I'm not beautiful. Or much of a conversationalist. Truth: I'm not entirely sure that the stuff behind the not-beautiful is going to be all that alluring, either. And one written-in-stone, heartbreaking truth about this guy. Truth: Edward Willing died in 1916.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Melissa Jensen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/melissa-jensen/it-was-day-three-freshman-year-and-i-was-a-little-bit-lost-in-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fec/melissa-jensen-1612_afraid-of-love_it-was-day-three-freshman-year-and-i-was_1851209.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fec/melissa-jensen-1612_afraid-of-love_it-was-day-three-freshman-year-and-i-was_1851209.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fec/melissa-jensen-1612_afraid-of-love_it-was-day-three-freshman-year-and-i-was_1851209.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It was Day Three, Freshman Year, and I was a little bit lost in the school library,looking for a bathroom…” — Melissa Jensen", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Well,that all worked out nicely,\" Edward said from my hand. \"Yup.\" I sat down and propped the postcard upright against my books. \"Thanks.\" \"Whatever for?\" \"Being real,I guess. I'm pretty sure this paper about your life will get me into NYU.Which,when you think about it, is a pretty great gift from a guy I've never met who's been dead for a hundred years.\" Edward smiled. It was nice to see. \"My pleasure,darling girl. I must say, I like this spark of confidence in you.\" \"About time,huh?\" \"Yes,well.Have you forgiven the Bainbridge boy?\" \"For...?\" \"For hiding you.\" \"He wasn't.I was hiding me.\" I gave Edward a look before he could gloat. \"Yeah,yeah. You've always been very wise. But this isn't really about my forgiving Alex,is it?\" He had the grace to look a little embarrassed. \"I suppose not. So?\" \"So.I think you were a good guy, Edward. I think you probably would have told everyone exactly how you felt about Marina of you could have.If she hadn't been married, maybe, or if you'd lived longer. I think maybe all the pictures of you did of her were your public delcaration. Whaddya think? Can I write that? Is it the truth?\" \"Oh,Ella.\" His face was sad again, just the way he'd cast it in bronze. But it was kinda bittersweet now, not as heartbroken. \"I would give my right arm to be able to answer that for you.You know I would.\" \"You don't have a right arm,Mr. Willing. Left,either.\" I picked up the card again. \"Fuhgeddaboudit,\" I said to it. \"I got this one covered.\" I tucked my Ravaged Man inside Collected Works. It would be there if I wanted it.Who knows. Maybe Edward Willing will come back into fashion someday,and maybe I'll fall for him all over again. In the meantime, I had another guy to deal with.I sat down in front of my computer.It took me thirty seconds to write the e-mail to Alex. Then it took a couple of hours-some staring, some pacing,an endless rehearsal dinner at Ralph's, and a TiVo'd Christmas special produced by Simon Cowell and Nigel Lythgoe with Nonna and popcorn-for me to hit Send.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Melissa Jensen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/melissa-jensen/well-that-all-worked-out-nicely-edward-said-from-my-hand-yup-i-sat/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f11/melissa-jensen-1612_edward_well-that-all-worked-out-nicely-edward-s_2282091.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f11/melissa-jensen-1612_edward_well-that-all-worked-out-nicely-edward-s_2282091.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f11/melissa-jensen-1612_edward_well-that-all-worked-out-nicely-edward-s_2282091.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Well,that all worked out nicely,\" Edward said from my hand. \"Yup.\" I sat down and propped the postcard…” — Melissa Jensen", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“I'd always made a point of talking to Edward only when I could look him in the face.
